Interesting article. If you're shopping online for diet pills, make SURE they don't contain the ingredient dinitrophenol (DNP)!

    Wow, was this pill FDA approved? I'd be shocked if it actually was. DNP is like the worst of the worst

    I completely understand that this drug is absolutely horrible and that two pills probably would have been a lethal dose, but she took 8 pills. That's four times the recommended dose it. It's truly unfortunate that someone so young had to experiment with such internet sensation drugs as this but when things are regulated and ordered online thIs can happen.

    Sad. A drug overdose, it seems.
    (regardless of whether the drug was safe)
